Title: Securing Device
Inventor: HOWELL DAVID NICHOLAS LLOYD
IPC: B63B21/04
Filed: 2010-01-20
Abstract: A device that can be used to moor, tether or suspend an article has a spool 2 mounted in a support frame (4, fig 1). A flange (12, fig 1) of the spool 2 may have holes (28, fig 2), or cleats (64, figs 4 and 7) in the periphery so that preferably a clipping mechanism such as a carabiner 10 attached to a free end of a tape, rope, webbing, strap or the like 6 wound onto a hub (8, fig 1) of the spool 2 can be clipped back to the flange thereby preventing the spool 2 from rotating further. In this way the length of tape 6 withdrawn from the spool 2 remains fixed. Alternatively the end of the tape 6 may be passed through the holes (28, fig 2) and tied in a knot (fig 7).

Title: Power circuit responsive to load
Inventor: DUBOSE RICHARD G
IPC: H01R13/70
Filed: 2009-06-09
Abstract: A power circuit detects the current being drawn by an appliance and cuts off the power if the current drawn falls to substantially zero or falls below a threshold. Thus a device in standby mode will be switched off completely. In the claims, the circuit consists of a wall plate measuring the current drawn by one or more socket outlets 520, but the description also describes it as part of a power strip or a module which is a component of the device to be controlled. Different sockets may have different thresholds, or some may not be measured.

Title: Biological method for in vivo tracking of molecules affecting cellular migration
Inventor: CONNELLY MIGUEL ALLENDE
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 2009-04-29
Abstract: Cellular migration is a normal part of the normal development of the human being and, in certain pathologies, its alteration damages physiological performance, so that it is necessary to learn about its molecular and cellular foundations and establish methodologies to identify those molecules that modulate this cellular behavior. A screening method using zebra fish embryos is used to follow the advance in the migration of the lateral line primordium upon contact with a test compound. Modulators found are Fenritinide, PGD2 and is-deoxy-PJE2. The invention refers to a biological method for the IN VIVO, fast, massive and simultaneous tracking of molecules capable of affecting cellular migration, in order to facilitate the finding of potential candidates to be used in the diagnosis, prevention, and, principally, for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of congenital pathologies, immune system dysfunctions, tissue regeneration failure, inflammation, cancer.

Title: A device for sealing a leak/burst of a pipe
Inventor: DOYLE TIMOTHY CHARLES
IPC: F16L55/168
Filed: 2011-01-17
Abstract: A device for sealing a leak/burst of a pipe, the device comprising an over-centre locking clasp which is designed to self-tension and press a seal onto the leak/burst. The device may be manufactured in one piece from a flexible and durable material with integral living hinges, which will allow the device to be frequently re-used if the damaged pipe-work is ever replaced. The seals can either be built-in or provided separately but in the same packaging. This gives flexibility where the size of burst is concerned. These pads will have a "pyramid" profile (drawings 4/4). If separate the seals can be used on each internal face of the device or where the damage is more extreme both seals can be used on one face.

Title: Transfer of print jobs between print servers
Inventor: HUSTER KARSTEN
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 2011-01-19
Abstract: A printing system 30 with at least one printer 4,5 and at least two print servers 1,2,3 for printing a print job 23,27 on a selected printer 5. The print job 23,27 is stored on one of the print 10 servers 1,2,3 and print job information 24a,24b about the stored print job 23,27 on the storing print server 2 is shared between the print servers 1,2,3. In case of a request 25 for print out the print job 23,27 on the selected printer 5, the print job 23,27 is sent 15 from the storing print server 2 to the selected printer 5 based on the print job information 24a,24b. This helps to reduce transmission costs in a big network of print servers. Printers may be managed by a particular print server, and this allows the storing server to transfer the print job information to that printer. The system updates the print job information and shares this update across the network. The print job may be a postscript of printer command language format.

Title: A push-pull envelope tracking RF power amplifier
Inventor: WIMPENNY GERARD
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2011-10-05
Abstract: A power amplifier comprises: first and second active devices 46a,b for amplifying in-phase and anti-phase parts of an input signal; a first DC supply network 48a connected between the output of the first active device and a modulated supply voltage 42; a second DC supply network 48b connected between the output of the second active device and the modulated supply voltage 42, and an output combiner such as a balun for combining the amplified parts of the input signal. The DC supply networks may be windings of a transformer in a push-pull circuit. The transformer may be a transmission line transformer (fig.9). It is disclosed that the dc supply from the supply modulator 42 should present a low impedance from dc to    video    (envelope modulation) frequencies, but should present a high impedance at the RF carrier frequency. This presents difficulties when the frequencies are similar. The proposed arrangement permits a reduction in the value of RF decoupling capacitors and consequently increases the bandwidth of the modulated supply and reduces the output impedance of the supply modulator, easing the task of stabilising the power amplifier.

Title: Sensor path optimisation method and system
Inventor: GOCCIA MARCELLO
IPC: G06Q10/04
Filed: 2012-09-11
Abstract: A sensor path optimisation method comprises selecting a path connecting a plurality of nodes, wherein a node j is selected and added to the path based on a density parameter which is related to a probability of detection of a target at the node j by the sensor and inversely related to a distance between the node j and a node i which is already in the path. A path improvement operation may be performed to find a shorter path each time a node is added which may comprise disconnecting two nodes to obtain multiple sub-paths. Path selection may be made using a heuristic algorithm which is a modified nearest insertion algorithm. The method may be implemented by a sensor path optimization control system in an Unmanned Airborne Vehicle (UAV).
